Much as I may covet the iconic Lady Dior handbag, my bank balance would suggest I am still a long way off achieving this holy grail of purchases. I can however now claim my own little slice of the action with the new limited edition Lady Dior Palette, inspired by the infamous arm candy and featuring the canework motif favoured by Christian Dior himself. Within the case lies a daring combination of clashing bright red tweed and a blue canework motif, in a reflection of the latest Spring-Summer 2011 Lady Dior bag. Available exclusively from Selfridges from Friday (£61.50), put it in your diary as they are sure to be snapped up before you know it.
Dior's International Pro Team is also lying in from across the word for a one-shot event at Selfridges from Wednesday 27th July - Saturday 30th July. An international team of talented make-up artists hand-picked by Dior for their outstanding level of expertise, join them for a 45 minute make-up lesson to learn all the about this summer's make-up tips and discover the Lady Dior Palette. To make an appointment call 0207 731 83696.
And as if that wasn't enough, Dior's International Beauty Expert Shane Paish has shared his expert top tips on how to get glowing skin this summer - take note ladies:
1) Preparation is everything. "Start with a hot shower, exfoliate and then moisturise the whole body - the steam really allows the moisturiser to penetrate the skin."
2) Perfect the canvas before you start painting. "Getting the perfect base for your foundation means using a combination moisturisation and coverage. Massage a luminous moisturiser into the skin for a dewy, reflective glow". Try Capture Totale Radiance Enhancer £110.00
3)Warm up your foundation. "Go one shade warmer with a sheer foundation over the summer - try Diorskin Nude Glow Healthy Glow Summer Fluid in 002 Honey Nude £29.50. Always use a sponge and blend to create a barely-there effect."
4) Dark circles - the secret "It's the colour that knocks out the grey, not the thickness. A yellow-toned concealer brings tired eyes back to life. Try Dior Skinflash Radiance Booster Pen £25 - it highlights and conceals at the same time." 5) Metallics - a summer must "Use shadows with a metallic-based hue to keep them from looking flat and two-dimensional. Warm-toned metallic eyeshadows will sink into the skin's oils and blend beautifully." Try Dior 5 Couleur Iridescent in Earth Reflection £40.00.
